Greetings all; I have read and re-read the docs for g2/3 arcs, almost have it memorized. But I'll be whipped if I can make the incremental mode for a hole bigger than the tool work. The only way I can make it cut a hole WHERE IT IS, is the absolute method for center format arcs. Where the g3 line assuming y-0.0000000 is a sub like this: o130 SUB (debug,39 #1) G1 F10 X[0.04750000+#1] Y0.00000000 G3 F5 X[0.04750000+#1] Y-0.00000000 I-0.04750000 J-0.00000000 Z-0.140 P8 G0 Z.05 (back to clear) o130 ENDSUB
driven by a call like this: o130 CALL [-[#<_std-A>/2.00000000]] or for the other end of the connector o130 CALL [#<_std-A>/2.00000000] Which works well, and I could by doing that, actually get rid of a line of code as I currently have a g0 move to the center of the hole ahead of the call that just as well could be done in the sub. So what concept am I missing that precludes my driving it to the center of the hole, and simply cutting the hole where ever its at, at the entry to the SUB? Thanks for any guidance. Rules of thumb, whatever. -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
